%N Triangle read by rows: n-th row is the smallest set of n numbers in arithmetic progression with the same number of divisors.

%C In this sequence "smallest" means that the last term of the arithmetic progression is minimized and if there is still a choice then we minimize the common difference of the arithmetic progression.
